A solid education is the foundation of every generation and has a significant impact on the development and sustenance of a healthy family unit. Unfortunately, ubiquitous budget cuts in our public education systems make delivering quantity education a major challenge. AFT is committed to furthering the cause of educational advancement to our underprivileged youth in the following ways:

  • funding to organizations specializing in assisting children with special needs. These organizations are dedicated to assisting low-income preschool children with academic difficulties.
  • providing desks, chairs, lights, and studying materials so that underprivileged children will have access to an environment physically conducive to learning. These materials are donated and delivered by American Family Thrift through it’s thrift services inventory of donations.

3 – Bright Horizons.

Bright Horizons addresses the social issues of adolescent youth. Supporting a positive atmosphere where kids can spend recreational time and learn to interact with others in a peaceful and productive manner helps them learn to live socially responsible and productive lives as adolescents and later as parents.

These organizations provide an environment where our urban youth have access to quality recreational activities and can be influenced by positive adult role models.
